NewsTrain: Great training in your town

APME's NewsTrain is a national touring workshop that has served almost 7,800 journalists at 95 stops since 2003. Programs are designed to provide affordable, high-quality training in the digital skills, knowledge and information journalists need in a rapidly changing media world.

The early-bird registration rate for NewsTrain is $75, increasing to $85 about one month before the event.

Please sign up hereto be emailed when more information becomes available on the dates, agendas and instructors for
the 2021 workshops.

NewsTrain programs are aimed at newsroom editors and managers, reporters, copy editors, visual journalists and online producers working on multiple platforms. College journalism educators and student journalists have found NewsTrain valuable. Public relations specialists and public information officers also have benefited.

NewsTrain workshops can include sessions on producing and editing multimedia content, organizational development and management, innovations in digital media, and other skills and knowledge needed at all levels of today’s news operations. Trainers at the one- or two-day workshops are experienced journalists and journalism professors.

Trainers' slides and handouts from NewsTrains in recent years are at the bottom of this post.

NewsTrain delivers training throughout the United States and Canada. A workshop begins when a committee of local journalism leaders requests a NewsTrain in their city. NewsTrain staff work with the host committee to plan and deliver a workshop tailored to the needs of local journalists. You can find more information on hosting a NewsTrain here.
